Last year I bought a quily top that is about 100 years old and in wonderful condition. I wanted it because I was certain the blue fabrics were similar to a little girl's dress that had been in my great-aunt's trunk. Her daughter died on her fourth birthday and my guess is the dress was to have been a gift since it looks like it was never worn. I have the quilt top and and dress hanging across the footboard of my antique bed.

By the way, since I just taught a Jacob's Ladder class, I see that some of your blocks have parts turned the wrong way (of course I had made some of those same mistakes that resulted in a bit of unsewing). Were you thinking of changing those or keep the character of the quilt intact? Maybe that is why the piecer stopped halfway,
